When the stock pops 10% on the announcement you got your antitrust enforcement wrong.

Or the stock price was suppressed pending antitrust decision?

That's exactly what the parent was saying. The market expected and priced in an antitrust decision but the one we got was very light, hence the stock going up sharply.

In the current era of already light antitrust actions, coming in even lighter than expectations is a sign that the regulators are not doing their jobs.
